Take Action!

Urge Congress to include affordable housing and homelessness funding in the next COVID-19 response package.

The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act includes over $175 billion for housing assistance, but LOTS of advocacy is needed to make sure the final package includes all of these important priorities! Please use this form to contact your members of Congress and ask them prioritize funding the following:​​​

$100 billion for a new Emergency Rental Assistance program, based off of the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) framework, to assist renters who are unable to attain or maintain housing stability

$75 billion to create a Homeowners Assistance Fund at the state, local, and tribal levels to help homeowners with mortgage payments, insurance, property taxes, and other costs

$11.5 billion in Homeless Assistance Grants, in addition to the $100 billion for rental assistance through ESG

$10 billion for Housing Choice Vouchers for people experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness and survivors of domestic violence

$5 billion in Community Development Block Grants

A requirement that local communities follow guidance by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and institute a moratorium on homeless encampment sweeps.
